Hello Andrey70,
I have nothing for Fontennelle à Alençon, Alençon is a town in France. Your Watch was made between 1820-1825. Musical watches are very rare, congratulations on this aquisition. A similar musical Watch made by Oudin, a celeb watchmaker dial side, it's the same movement.

Hello Franck272 Thanks for the interesting information. On the mechanism of I saw Mark C&J perhaps this will serve as an additional hint in identifying these pocket watches.
